Hoy vais a ver uno de los tutoriales que más entretenida me ha tenido hasta ahora, y es que me hace mucha ilusión presentarlo porque con él enseño mi trabajo a Up&Scrap a ver si hay suer…

I found a great tutorial by Silvey Shim on how to make a mini bag using a 11" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock. I have adapted the measurements to use an A4 piece of cardstock with measurements of 11" x 8 1/4". I followed Silvey's tutorial on how to fold the basic mini bag. I have given the measurements that I used and details on how I decorated my mini bag at the end of this post. The challenge this week at The Paper Players is to create a paper project using the colours of Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Basic Black. My first thought as usual was to make a card, but then I wanted to try to make the mini bag, so here it is.  Bag closed. Bag open, showing the inside of the handles. Measurements for basic mini bag 11" x 8 1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock Score on the 11" edge at 3/4", 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 10 1/4". Score on the 8 1/4" edge at 1 7/8" and 6 3/8" Follow Silvey's tutorial on how to fold and put the mini bag together. Embellishments Base Mat and DSP 4 1/4" x 3 1/2" Basic Gray cardstock - 2 pieces (one for each side) 4 1/8" x 3 3/8" Basic Gray Strip DSP from Neutrals Designer Sieries Paper Stack - 2 pieces Adhere to sides of mini bag. Centre Piece on Base Mat and DSP 3 5/8" x 2 1/8" Basic Gray cardstock 3 1/2" x 2" Basic Black cardstock - this is embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Adhere to base mat and DSP. Top of Purse 4 1/2" x 1 1/2" Baja Breeze cardstock - 2 pieces, scored at 3/4", border punch with Scallop Trim Border Punch and emboss with Pefect Polka Dots embossing folder. Fold on score line and adhere to top of purse sides. Handles 8 1/2" x 3/4" Basic Black cardstock - 2 pieces Measure in 1/2" from purse top sides to position the outside edge of the purse handle. Adhere to the inside of the top of the purse with sticky strip, making sure that the handles are the same length. I lined mine up with the bottom edge of the piece of Baja Breeze. For extra strength I put a brad through each of the handles as well. The brads are hidden on the inside by flowers made using the Floral Fusions Die. The brads on the outside of the purse are hidden by Basic Gray buttons from the Neutrals Designer Buttons, a piece of Linen Thread is threaded though the buttons before adhering down. Ribbon Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon 9 3/4". Adhere this to the top of the bag just under the top fold and the Baja Breeze top piece. Make a ribbon bow and adhere using a glue dot. Make sure that the ribbon join is at the front in the middle as the bow hides the join. Flowers The flowers are made using the Floral Fusions Sizzlits die, Baja Breeze and Basic Gray cardstock and the four petal punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and Basic Black cardstock and Basic Jewel Rhinestones. You need to make six flowers for the outside of the mini bag and four flowers for the inside handles. I did not put rhinestones on the inside handle flowers. To finish To close the mini bag I have used a black velcro dot. Share:facebook - twitter - pinterest The Paper Players #PP112 - Mini Bag

Hello, Crafters. (I’m resending this as I had a problem getting today’s blog set up. Please accept my sincere apologies if you are receiving this for the second time). I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. This morning I uploaded my video called Kelly’s Box Bag. I’ve named it after Kelly Gettelfinger who posts videos to ... Read More about Kelly’s Box Bag Video – Version 2

I’m back on the Imaginisce Blog today showing a couple more projects I created with the Little Princess collection. I made paper purses for my daughters. Click here to go to the blog post which includes links to these pretty Silhouette cutting files. And here’s…

I finally got all the pictures and instructions together for this promised tutorial for these fun little back packs. Several people have posted instructions for these on Split Coast and on blogs - I found it on this blog inkingidaho but added more measurements and a more detailed description of putting it together. Be sure and check out her blog - she has a lot of fun tutorials listed! The size of this backpack is 3 ½” x 3” x 1 ¾” Supplies: 1 – 8 ½” x 11” piece of card stock for bag (see under Instructions below for how to cut this up) 2 ¾” x 1 7/8” designer paper for large flap (if using 2 different dp’s on your back pack this is #1 color) 1 7/8" x 7/8" designer paper for small pocket flap (#1 color) 2 ¾” x 3 ¼” designer paper for front panel (#2 color) 1 7/8” x 1 3/8” designer paper for small pocket panel (#2 color) Double sided super tacky tape Regular double sided adhesive Two 6” pieces of 1/2” wide twill to coordinate with card stock for shoulder straps One 4 ½” piece of 1/4” grosgrain ribbon to coordinate with card stock for top loop 1/8” hole punch ¼” hole punch Small piece of Velcro Glue Dots Scor Pal Scissors Buttons or stamps to decorate as desired. White Gel Pen Snow flake stamp Ink to match CS Instructions: Cut card stock to 10 ¼” x 5 ¼” (keep the cut off piece for the pockets as per below) With 5 ¼” side along top of score pal - score at 3 ½” Turn cardstock and with 10 ¼” side along top - score at 3”, 4 ¾”, 7 ¾” and 9 ½” (since most of these measurements aren’t marked on scorepal – I marked them with a pencil first then lined the dots up to a score line.) Cut on the shorter score lines up to the 3 ½” crosswise score – cut off the ¾”x 3 ½” piece on the end. Fold on all score lines. You can see the scores and cuts on this picture - I made short pen marks on the ends of the score lines just to show you where they are- these are not cuts - the only cuts are along the bottom edge. Cut and score the following from the left over piece of cardstock for the flaps and pockets Backpack Flap - 2 15/16” x 2 ½ (the first measurement is just shy of 3” it has to fit inside the backpack) score at ½” on one long side only Pocket – 3” x 2” score at ¼” and ½” on three sides. Leave one long side unscored. Cut off corners. Fold on score lines. Pocket Flap - 1 ½” x 2” score at ¼” and ½” on one long side only. The top piece is the little pocket - the bottom left piece is the little pocket flap and the bottom right piece is the back pack flap (I marked the ends of the score lines with a pen so you could see them better - they are not cuts. Trace rounded edges on the backpack flap and the pocket flap by placing the round tape roll over the piece and drawing the curve. Cut the curves. You could also use a Coluzzle or anything round. Place the appropriate piece of designer paper over both flaps and trace the curves. Trim to make these slightly smaller than the flaps and attach to flaps. * If you are stamping the little pocket flap instead of using DP - stamp it now. Attaching the straps: On the end of the back pack piece without the narrow end flap – on the bottom - make two dots with a pencil - ½” up from bottom and 3/4” in from each side – punch two holes with ¼” punch over your dots. On the top – mark 2 dots with a pencil ¾” down from top and 1 ¼” in from each side. Put the two ribbons through the holes (one on each side) and attach to the inside of the back pack using tacky tape. Make sure the outside loops are even and not twisted. Attach the large flap to the top inside of the back pack above the shoulder straps You can see the placement of the tacky tape on this picture - the middle large panel is the front of the backpack and that bottom piece should be the last piece folded up and attached so you see the fold from the front of the pack. You can just slightly see the piece of tape on the small panel on the right - it's on the front as it will fold in and attach to the piece with the ribbons on it. You can also see the velcro piece at the top of the large flap. I put both sides of the velcro piece here( the fuzz and the loops) - then removed the backing and closed the backpack - that way the pieces will be lined up perfectly. Attaching the top loop Measure 1” in from each side right on the fold of the flap. Using a 1/8” hole punch if you have it – or a ¼” hole punch, punch the two holes. Put the ¼” ribbon through the holes and attach the ends to the inside using super tacky tape. Attach the large piece of designer paper to the front panel of the back pack. (the dotted paper shown here) Taping up the back pack. Put super tacky tape along the outside of the narrow end tab on the inside edge, and on the bottom panels. The flap under the front of the back pack will be the last flap you fold up as you want the fold showing from the front - not an open edge. Line up your edges nice and even as you attach them. Attaching the little front pocket Fold the scored edges of the little pocket. Attach strips of tacky tape to the three sides. If you have 1/8" tacky tape that is a better fit on this small pocket. If not - 1/4" will work. Pull off the paper of the tacky tape on the pocket and attach the flap to the open edge of the pocket. Put tacky tape on the back edge of the pocket flap. Pull off the paper and attach the pocket with the flap to the front bottom of the back pack - even with the bottom edge. Squeeze the sides of the backpack together (front to back) while pushing in on the sides near the top to bring it in at the top. Attach small pieces of Velcro under both flaps. Add a button to center of top flap if desired. Or you could add a flower or something stamped and cut out. The flaps can also be stamped instead of using DP. So there you go - I hope I didn't leave anything out - it's a long tutorial as there are a lot of steps - hope I didn't totally confuse you! I'd love to see the back packs that you create! I'm sure you will all think of many different fun ways to decorate these for different events. Please link them back here so I can check them out!! Remember to check out my blog candy post here - you have until Friday 10/17 to enter!

DIY Project on How to Create a Ring Gift Box

Remember the Neverending Story iPad and Tablet cover I featured a while back? Well, John T. and the other makers over at Geekify Inc. obviously know the way to my geeky little heart, because they've just released a Labyrinth cover: Labyrinth iPad/eReader cover, $58.95 AAAIAEEEEE!! Thanks for putting my bank account in jeopardy, John. - Next up, these gender-swapped Doctors are too cool for school: via Fashionably Geek Peter Davison was my first Doctor, and therefore the nearest and dearest to my heart. I've never been tempted to cosplay him 'til now, though; she is ADORABLE. (They both are!) Think I can pull off Number 5 as a brunette? :D - Here's my most popular Pinterest find this week: Silvey Shim made these cute little gift bags from a single sheet of 8.5X11 cardstock, and get this: there's NO CUTTING - only folding! Head over to her blog for a full photo tutorial. (And maybe this is my day job talking, but wouldn't these be perfect for gifting single cupcakes?) - Not only does Epbot reader Jessica D. make a great gender-swapped Dreamfinder: She also created some Figment/Doctor Who mash-up art that John has decreed he must - MUST - have on a t-shirt immediately: C'mon. How perfect is this? Jessica assures us she's looking into t-shirt options now, so I'll let you guys know if/when she gets them available for sale. Oh, and Jessica's Flickr stream is filled with stunning Disney photography, btw, so check that out for more eye candy! - If you still have any money left then hang on to your wallets, because there are three new Star Wars backpacks out. The R2D2 and Stormtrooper designs are pretty terrible, but the Rebel Alliance one - ohhhh, the Rebel Alliance one!! DO WANT. You can pre-order it for about $60 over at the Big Bad Toy Store, and see the other two designs (which are terrible - don't say I didn't warn you!) over at Fashionably Geek. - For my fellow Dizgeeks, have you heard? MICKEY'S BACK! Yep, Disney is planning to release a bunch of new shorts on the Disney channel featuring Mickey and the gang in traditional 2D animation, although the art style is really fresh and fun: This Yodeling clip (sorry I can't embed it!) made me laugh out loud, and I've watched it like four times in a row now. (Why yes, the show IS aimed at 4-10 year-olds. Why do you ask? ;)) Oh, and I like how this one finally points out that Mickey and Donald are only half-dressed: (Only the shoes, Goofy? Really? HE HAS NO PANTS.) You can also watch one entire short, "Croissant de Triomphe" here on the Disney site. (Thanks to Cara B. for the tip!) - And finally, most of you have probably already seen Conversations With My Two-Year-Old, but since several of my friends haven't yet, this is my reminder to those individuals (you know who you are!) to just watch this: Then go watch the rest of the episodes, too. There are four total so far, and they're hysterical. Happy weekend, everyone!

Hi everybody and welcome to my latest blog post. Today I am sharing a video demonstration which I created exclusively for subscribers of CraftWorld. I decided to make a gorgeous gift bag to showcase the beautiful Special Succulents Dies which were recently released by Simply Made Craft, designed by Helen Griffiths. Gift Bag with Square Reinforced HandlesI had the pleasure of making up some samples using these dies recently and thought it would be nice to take you on a step by step video demon

If store-bought gift boxes just aren’t doing it for you this year try making one of these fifteen diy gift boxes instead. From origami boxes to milk cartons, printables and pillow boxes there’s something here to suit any gift giving occasion.

Blue Fabric z kolekcji Paris Flea Market - Pion Design bardzo starałam się go nie przykryć stąd niewiele dodatków karteczka i mini exploding box w pudełeczku klateczka, kluczyk i życzenia ...:)

I created this project for my display at the April Minneapolis On Stage event. I found a similar box online and knew it would make a fabulous project! The box opens up like a book and holds at least 5 cards and envelopes. It features the Daisy Delight bundle; new in the 2017-18 Annual Catalog. Right now the Daisy Punch is on back-order and unavailable for purchase. So if you're wanting the bundle you may have to wait a week...
